In 2009, the project Deconstruction of the Myth was selected by Résidence d’Artistes Centre d’Arts Camac Arts Centre to be held in Marnay-sur-Seine – France, with a grant from the Ténot Foundation. The project idea emerged during the course of graduation in Fine Arts and took shape during the course of post-graduate in history of Visual Arts. The paper produced by Vitoria “Identity and Differences between the Greeks and Contemporary Aesthetic Models” aimed to reflect on the ancient Greek culture and its influence on contemporary Western society. The project is based on theoretical bases acquired in the various courses of artistic training and experience as a professional artist and set designer, and a careful observation of reality in which we live, that is, the contemporary Western society.
The Second International Exhibition of Brazilian Art, promoted by ICSA and Lauderdale House Arts Centre, happened in London – United Kingdom, May 27 to June 8, 2009. Visual artists from Brazil and abroad ran for the ICSA International Award of Culture.

In 2008, paintings from the series Constructing the Deconstruction were awarded the Gold Medal at the Second International Exhibition of Visual Arts ICSA / Unesco, in Sao Paulo-SP. The exhibition opening was attended by Brazilian authorities and British curator and chair of the Lauderdale House Arts Centre, Peter Galleger, who came specially from England to select Brazilian artists to attend the Second International Exhibition of Brazilian Art in London, in May 2009.
The series Constructing the Deconstruction proposes a reflection on how the contemporary society has been acting in their environment, and the consequences to our planet. The goal is to draw attention to the need for a sustainable way of life, which depends on us, now. Therefore, there is the need to recycle ideas and not just the materials.
The work is inspired by the urban chaos, the manipulation of images, the mass production and the pursuit of the human being by high consumption.
“… Ideas flowing, and tinted images created … the grotesque and delicate … the light and dark … the beautiful and the ugly … the force of nature and vulnerability of man … the construction and deconstruction …”
VitóriaBiagiolli/2008
“I wander around the world seeking colors and shapes, that can take me a long way from here… Images that were invented and dyed … Images… Ah ! They consume me, spread over me, disquiet me and keep me awake… colors, volumes, shapes, substance… past, present, future…
I am myself made of chaos, urban chaos and chaos of the paintings o’mine. I am reality; counterfeit; I am super real. I am neither past nor future, but IMAGE !”

In 2006, the paiting City of Dreams VII won Honorable Mention at the XVI International Exibition of Plastic Arts of the Proyecto Cultural Sur – PCSur in Bento Gonçalves – Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
“I Work in the research of the expression of feelings, images, dreams, endless possibilities, colours and forms of urban life.
The contemporary world is a puzzle. It escapes us. We do not know what is really real and what is simulacrum of reality. We can not distinguish real from imaginary. That’s what my paintings try to say. The intent is to provide a variety of readings. The dreams, the endless possibilities of being and seeing. The imaginary and the real. The puzzle of the cities in which we live. The puzzle of our own minds and lives. The Fragmented Man.” VitóriaBiagiolli/2006.
The strength and authenticity of the paintings by VitóriaBiagiolli – where material is transformed at the hands of skilled and creative artist – show a work characterized by the contradiction between the beauty of cities and the urban chaos.
The focus of her work is the relationship between art, contemporary cities and the environment, consistent with the urban problems around us.
Her canvases filled with bright colors blended geometric figures, sketched, cut, recorded in space, becoming images of the city.
The works present a conscious and coherent development of the creative process that draws the attention of the contemporary artistic world.
For anyone following the growth and trajectory of this young artist is easy to identify the suggestive fragments of subjectivity of a person demanding and committed to the maturity, the quest for improvement and magical beauty of the works that aim to build its own space in contemporary art.

“These paintings are intended to provoke and to question the concept of beauty and the myth of beauty in our society, as well as the excessive exposure to the media which we are submitted in everyday life. There is also the intention to provoke a discussion about the representation of beauty in the twenty-first century”.

Sculptures-objects are resistant and practical seats which can be used both indoors and out doors. They bring a special charm to the room and to the environment, because, besides being unique and exclusive, are made from recyclable materials.
The work is performed with paper-mâché on discarded plastic bottles, newspaper and wire. After the paper-mâché is shaped on the core material and the desired form is achieved the sculptures are carefully painted.
Vitoria Biagiolli’ s works, beyond drawing the attention of collectors, have been sought by architects and decorators not only in Brasilia but also in Sao Paulo and other Brazilian cities, and abroad. Her paintings and sculptures have took part at decorated rooms and exhibitions organized by the interior designer Cristiane Calixto, in partnership with the architect Livia Meirelles. In 2009, its carved flowers graced the canopy environmental The girl’s room at Casa Cor São Paulo. In 2008, she created a panel carved flowers especially for the Baby’s room (work published by the magazine Decora Baby – October 2009), the environment created by the architects Arnaldo Pinho and Daniele Feitosa – from AD Architecture Studio – specially to the exhibition on architecture and decoration at Morar Mais Brasília. Moreover, her painting Cities could be assessed at Restaurant Piantella’s, at Casa Cor Brasília 2005, in a room decorated by the architect Andrea Zorzetto. In 2004, she had the opportunity to participate in the Casa Cor Brasília with a canvas and a mural painted exclusively for the room of the architect and interior designer Sabrina Estrella.
This work contributed to the award that Vitoria Biagiolli was honored with – the Medal Maria Ines de Witt, by Pro-Arte de Brasília -, as Outstanding Woman of 2007 in the area of set design and visual arts. The ceremony of the medals awarding was held on April 30, 2008, at the Itamaraty Palace of the Foreign Ministry in Brasilia. At the occasion, there was a exhibition, where Vitoria participated with the paintings City of Dreams I and II.
Created from historical research, this scenery aimed a dialogue between past and present with a focus on the collection “Marie Antoinette”, created by the fashion designer Maria Fabiola for Brasilia Fashion Festival spring / summer 2007.
- Scenery by Vitoria Biagiolli and Jonathan Andrade.
“The scenario of “Like the Rain” was based on the story of the play, which takes place in an extremely poor environment.
The choice to compose the scene with realistic elements (walls, old water purifier, altar, cups, bottles etc.) reinforces the principle of naturalness and everyday life, which also guides the interpretation of the actors. The scenario was created from research on housing and alternative materials such as trash, wooden boxes, cardboard and old furniture. The whole scenario looks worn and aged. The presence of leaks throughout the house, while brings the rain into the set, converses with the metaphor of a frayed relationship.
The pieces were carefully constructed and composed to form an environment in order to show the social condition of the characters.
The poetics of the scenario takes place in contaminating those elements in detail and lyrics that reflect not only the financial condition of the characters, but also on the lack of communication between them. ” VitoriaBiagiolli and Jonathan Andrade/2006
Costume Design by Vitoria Biagiolli and Jonathan Andrade.
Like the scenario, the costumes were worn and aged as those situated daily in a scarce resources environment .
